Musk was responding to a user who opined that it would take Ford years to integrate autopilot into its vehicles even if Tesla handed over the entire Autopilot source code. Despite Musk's willingness to share Tesla's knowledge, Tesla is currently in a legal dispute with Rivian over alleged theft of trade secrets.
